The space weather forecast reads: "There is a chance of enhancements to the auroral oval at times during 13th and 14th March as a result of two Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and a coronal hole high-speed stream arriving at Earth.
"Aurora sightings are likely at high latitudes under clear skies and may be possible as far south as northern England and Northern Ireland."
Space weather physicist Dr Tamitha Skov has said the aurora will likely be visible tonight as a solar storm heads towards Earth.
